What is 등산복?

등산복 refers to clothing specifically designed for hiking or mountain climbing. These clothes are made to be functional, often featuring materials that are breathable, sweat-absorbent, and sometimes waterproof to protect against weather conditions.

Usage and Context

When Koreans talk about 등산복, they usually mean specialized outdoor gear rather than casual clothes. It's common to see 등산복 worn during weekend hikes or outdoor activities. The term is neutral and can be used in both formal and informal contexts.

Tips for Learners
